Focus is on the development of human spacecraft from Vostok to the International Space Station. Spacecraft design requirements based on the space environment and human physiology will be discussed and a design process will be with taught using systems providing life support. Students will study the designs of a spacecraft for a human interplanetary exploratory mission and will include technical design and program management. Course includes a student spacecraft system design project with presentation of proposals, design reviews and completed design projects. Prerequisite: AE-711 (3)
